SUMMARY:Demographic Congress
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, ECR MEP Marlena Maląg will host a Demographic Congress in the European Parliament. \nToday\, there is no doubt that demographic trends affect us all — individually\, socially\, and internationally. Europe faces a crucial challenge that will determine its security\, prosperity\, and the quality of life for future generations. \nDemographics are about people — and people live in families. The family is the cornerstone of our continent: the foundation of its culture\, economy\, and identity. Without families\, there is no Europe — and there will be no Europe. \nThe Congress will focus on two key themes: \n• Demographics and EU competitiveness \n• Demographics and EU identity \nBy combining reflection on economic development with care for Europe’s cultural foundations\, the Congress aims to lay the groundwork for a sustainable demographic policy that strengthens the European community. \nTranslation will be provided in EN\, FR\, IT\, PL.  \nAGENDA \nHOST: Marlena Maląg\, ECR MEP (PL) \n9:30 – 10:00 Opening remarks \n• Raffaele Fitto\, Executive Vice President of the European Commission  \n• Antonella Sberna\, Vice President of the European Parliament\, ECR MEP (IT) \n• Adam Bielan\, ECR MEP (PL) \n• Beat Szydlo\, ECR MEP (PL) \n10:00 – 10:50 Panel 1: Demographics and EU competitiveness \nModerator: Dorata Losiewicz \n• Laurence Trochu\, ECR MEP (FR) \n• Elena Donazzan\, ECR MEP (IT) \n• Paolo Inselvini\, ECR MEP (IT) \n• Margarita de la Pisa Carrion\, Patriots for Europe MEP (ES) \n• Radoslaw Waszkiewicz\, President of the European Large Families Confederation  \n10:50 – 11:40 Panel 2: Demographics and EU identity \nModerator: Dorata Losiewicz \n• Barbara Socha\, Advisor to the President of the Republic of Poland \n• Prof UAM Michal A.

SUMMARY:Condemning the Illegal Secession in the Occupied Areas of Cyprus: Europe’s Responsibilities 42 Years
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday evening\, ECR Cypriot MEP Geadi Geadis will bring together Members of the European Parliament\, visiting guests from the ELAM party of Cyprus — including party leader Christos Christou — and experts to discuss Europe’s continued responsibilities in addressing this long-standing violation of international law. \nForty-two years after Turkey’s illegal declaration of the so-called “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus\,” the consequences of this unlawful act continue to weigh heavily on Europe’s conscience. Despite international condemnation and clear United Nations Security Council resolutions\, 37 percent of the Republic of Cyprus remains under occupation\, and the so-called “TRNC” continues to exist as an unrecognised\, secessionist entity. \nThe discussion will focus on how the European Union can reaffirm its commitment to the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus\, support justice for those affected\, and strengthen its stance against illegal occupations in Europe’s neighbourhood.
